I agree, blue Xmas lights look cold and creepy to me. Mom just uses clear/white lights outside and clear and red/green indoors (at her bf's house she always covers the bannister, and it's a big one, in garland and lights. So much for the handrail...)
Also, I hate those big inflatable lawn ornaments. Can you say TACKY?

There's a vibe here that says "We're in this together!Through thick and thin fabric! Through cold water washes and burning hot irons! Though we might super glue ourselves to our projects, cut holes/gashes/oh-god-mom's-gonna-kill-me into the dining room table, we will stand strong together. Unless there is a 75% off sale at the Fabric store. Then you're on your own. And get the hell out of my way."<3
